Since their musical journey began in 2001, Opensouls have been busy winning over music lovers with their fresh, infectious energy. Infused with elements of soul and old-school RnB, the band’s unique sound is due to a collaborative effort from its seven talented members, each bringing their own personality, flair and musical taste to the mix.
The core members comprise vocalists Tyra Hammond and Bjorn Peterson, and a live band with Jeremy Toy (guitar) Julien Dyne (drums), Chip Matthews (bass), Isaac Aesili (trumpet) and Harlin Davey (MPC).
Standing In The Rain debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 24 August 2009. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for six weeks with a highest position of #8. There are two albums by Opensouls in the Top 40 Albums.
